Carmina is traveling to the United States to spend time with her family. My dad planned a family gathering for Mother's Day at their favorite Pinoy restaurant . Since reservations aren’t possible, we arrived an hour early to ensure we could get a table for twelve before everyone else showed up. As my dad approached Isla Grand , the branch we visited in Pleasant Hills, California , the host at the door said they could prepare a table for twelve at five o'clock. Later, the server called my dad's name and guided us to our table. The place was bustling with people enjoying meals and celebrating Mother's Day.

While you’re sleeping you had a
dream of black butterfly in your terrace and you are standing outside of your
home and not sure what the dream has a meaning to you than all a sudden your
phone begins to ring and you decide to answer the phone call someone inform you
some bad news during the conversation you are half asleep still listening to
the person talking.
As you are listening to the conversation and explaining the sad news that has happened to a friend you start to worry and knowing someone so innocent had been contacted by covid-19. In your mind you could have not imagine someone catching it so soon.
After the conversation you become
fully awake and you have this mood that you cannot seem to remove away no
matter if you have eaten your breakfast and do house chorus you do on a daily
routine.
You than realize those black
butterfly you saw in your dream was the person who just recently passed away.
When you wake up in the morning
affects us really bad when we hear sad news to the people who are close to you
and unable to see them during our lockdown.
The sad part is the funeral service
is to be held through zoom application through our moment we are experiencing is something
new to us.
Even though we don’t get to embrace the people during our sad moment we only see faces during the funeral services via zoom through your computer or phone.
In of our own homes we are crying and hearing stories from each family and friend of their remembrance of that person that mean to us.
